Given:

m = -3

b = 2/3

Asked: Equation of the line, Equation of a line that is parallel, and Equation of a line that is perpendicular.

Solution:

A. Equation of the line :

y = -3x + 2/3

B. Equation of the line that is parallel:

Slope of a line that is parallel = m = -3

y = -3x + 5 (you may know that two lines are parallel if they have the same slope)

C. Equation of the line that is perpendicular:

Slope of a line that is parallel = -1/m = -1/-3 = 1/3

y = 1/3x + 2/3
